Default bumper removal w/o removing headlights?

Is it possible to remove the front bumper on a 5th gen Accord w/o removing the headlights? If not, how do you remove the headlights? I have to install my passenger side headlight but i've never done it before.

bumper support has to come off before the headlights do.

I couldn't do it today, I don't have a 12mm socket Im gonna give it a shot tomorrow night after work. I will have about an hour to get the bumper off, headlight in, bumper back on. Think it's possible?

how long do you guys think it'll take? I have had the bumper off once before, but it was with the help of a buddy of mine, he actually did most of the work. It will be my first time but I already know where the bolts underneath are, the plastic screw thingy's, and the 4 bolts for the bumper support.

Well guys, I must be a stud cause I removed my front bumper, installed passenger side headlight, clear corners, headlight bulbs and reinstalled the bumper is 45 minutes. Nobody thought it could be done in an hour but I handled it easily, and this was my first time Wanna touch me
